All posts for the month May, 2017

This is not normal. It is far from normal yet, in order to get through the day, we must each determine how we process and internalize this information. Some of you ignore it. Some of you will not believe what I write. Many of you are repulsed and have been moved to action. This is not normal.

The president of the United States is a liar. Period. I should not need to prove it to you. It is well documented that he tells roughly 5 new lies per day.

The president of the United States loves dictators and killers. Again, this is well documented. He even invited Duterte of the Philippines to visit, knowing that he has personally killed people and ordered many other deaths.

The president of the United States breaks the laws and constitution of the United States each day. He believes he is above the law. He decided the anti-nepotism law did not apply to him and appointed his daughter and son-in-law to key posts. Oh, they are volunteers you say? Well she has a Chief of Staff and staff. She sits in meetings with every foreign dignitary that can help her business. The son-in-law seems to be responsible for everything. Way more authority and responsibility than a volunteer. Did I forget to mention that he lied on his security forms? He’s left off meetings with Russians and business dealings and debts that should have been included. As one person noted recently, a barber’s license is denied for less. This goes beyond ignoring a law,

The president of the United States does not know shit about U.S. History. Again well documented. See his remarks on Fredrick Douglass and (notes racist) Andrew Jackson among others.

The president of the United States encourages racism and hate. No? Haven’t you seen his supporters taking pictures in the White House with the White Power sign? I have, they aren’t hard to find. He often uses the language of the neo Nazi’s and White Supremacists. He is quick to comment on the perception of Muslims (even when he’s wrong) committing violence, but NEVER comments on white radicals killing people of color. If you don’t see this, it is either because you hold similar feelings or choose not to. Oh, and don’t forget the multiple fines he paid through his business for racial discrimination. Just because the decree had no admission of guilt doesn’t mean he’s innocent. And recently he endorsed the racist candidate in France for Prime Minister. The US president does not generally comment on the free elections of other countries. But since this one is known, outspoken racist it is particularly appalling. Consider taking your blinders off, he is the Racist in Chief.

The president of the United States has worked hard to alienate our allies. Mexico, Canada, UK, Australia and Germany among others. That’s the trade he’s made to become a puppet of Russian authoritarian Vladimir Putin. Hard to miss this. He has never ONCE criticized Russia, where critics and loose ends are often killed. Like several this year. Of course you can choose not to see this and determine its normal to try and ruin the relationships with our neighbors and long time allies.

The president of the United States has not nominated over 500 people to key posts. He blames the opposition party of stonewalling them. You can’t stonewall what doesn’t exist. He also fired every ambassador on his first day in office. This is not unusual, but not hiring any more is.

The US Attorney General is a known racist. He is anti civil rights. He was too racist to be a judge under Reagan. And for good measure, he lied to congress. Twice. Nevertheless, he is still the attorney general. This is not normal. This is criminal.

The president of the United States fired every single US Attorney well after his inauguration. Probably because one of them was investigating him. Nevertheless he hasn’t hired any replacements. This is not normal.

The president of the United States appointed a spy to the top national security job in White House. It is probable that he knew this when he appointed him. When the issue was raised to him, he waited until it appeared in the national news to act on it. I guess it normally takes 3 weeks to fire a traitor, that the previous president had fired. A+B=C Nope, this is not normal.

The president of the United States requires us, the taxpayers, to pay $500,000 per day for his wife and child to live in a golden tower, away from him. This is not normal. It is very excessive. As a “billionaire” a rational person might think he would work to defray some of this personal expense. That silence you hear is a “no”.

The president of the United States requires us, the taxpayers, to spend $3 million most weekends so he can play golf and entertain at his private club in Florida. How much of that $3 million goes to his club and other business concerns? How much more is generated by Foreign Governments spending money to meet him there? I’m guessing at least $1.5 million each trip. This is a clear violation of ethics and the constitution. This is not normal.

The president of the United States has declared today that the government should shut down in September to teach the opposition party a lesson, because hurting the citizens is the best way to help the country grow and prosper. Seems more like a move a dictator would make.

The president of the United States thinks it is important to roll back the regulations that help keep our water and air clean. I don’t. I think this is criminal.

The president of the United States blames all his problems (and even some that are made up) on the previous President of the United States. He says something along these lines several times a week. Can you think of another president that criticized any of his predecessors? Me neither. This is not normal.

I could go on for a few thousand more lines. You see what you want to see. This is not normal and this needs to end. Pay attention, this is the worst scandal of many lifetimes. He can’t suppress everything. He has no power over state laws. The congress is clearly compromised. But the courts (other than that one illegitimate SCOTUS judge, the seat was stolen and more will come out) is not beholden.

You can choose to drink the cool aid. You can choose to be an ostrich. I value my freedom and yours. What I’ve described above is not freedom. It is the slide into authoritative fascism. It is the need to recreate White Power. You don’t have to listen to me. But that is the choice you make. You are still mostly free. Today. Will you still be free tomorrow?
